    Waffle weave drying towels not drying anymore

    Perhaps I'll try to rejuvenate my cobra waffle weave towel. I have never found it to be that absorbent, even when new. Maybe boiling in vinegar may help. How much do you dilute it?

    Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Protection Question

    Thanks. I put in on pretty thin and it came off pretty easy. Being new to detailing, I get nervous when I can't "see" the product going on. Putting a halogen work light at an angle to the surface seems to helps me see it a little better. Overall I was happy with the result. I am going to let it...

    Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Protection Question

    Hey Folks, I did a little searching around but I didn't want to revive a year old thread. I have Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Protection that I plan to use on my three cars.

    How Many Times Can You Correct the Paint?

    Thanks for the link. Very informative article. I am looking to "revive" the paint on my F150. It is about 2 years old. The paint is in fair condition. I park it outside and drive it daily, so it won't be "perfect." But that doesn't mean it can't look good.

    What did I do wrong? Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish

    Thanks Mike. I'll give that a try when I get home. From your response, I am guessing I should have used the gray side or an MF applicator pad?

    What did I do wrong? Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish

    Hey Folks, So last night I decided to try my hand at using Blackfire's Gloss Enhancing Polish on my '12 Corvette. I washed and clayed it, then used the orange side of the German Polish Applicator to work the polish in. I wiped it clear with a dry MF towel and then waxed with Blackfire's...

    Looking for "Kit Bag" Recommendations

    There re a lot of products out there, and it can be a touch intimidating for a n00b. So, let's pretend for a minute that I am newer than new when it comes to proper auto-detailing. Let's pretend that all I have in my kit is a bottle of Turtle Wax Ice, a bottle of Mequiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax...
